Why AC and not DC?

It was only with the invention of Alternate Current by Nikola Tesla that long-range electrical energy distribution became available for an affordable price. That being said, why is it not possible to widely distribute electrical energy using Direct Current?

The distance travelled by Direct Current is too smallSecurity risks and electrical archs makes it not worth it.Direct Current generates more heat, requiring more expensive wires to implementThe losses caused by high currents are too big
